الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح
According to the Shafi'i Madhhab
Women should keep their hands close to the sides in ruku 'and sujud.
It is enough to be like men in athahiyath
According to the Hanafi Madhhab
Women should keep their hands close to the sides in ruku 'and sujud. (Like Shafi madhab)
difference is in athahiyath where the women should sit the Thawwarruk sitting (by touching the bottom on the floor).
And the legs do not have to be stretched.
